  1. Sprerry Rail Service is always hiring drivers. They have a high turnover due to the away from home, so a OTR driver would have a field day out here. 4 weeks paid vacation first year, then 5, then max at 6 by year 3. If you decide to give up hourly pay and go for Chief Operator, you get 8 weeks vacation. Benefits and 401K available after 6 months.

    Basic job description: Drive a 30' bobtail hi-rail inspection truck. Working well with others is a must. We drive ON the railroad, checking for defects, then get off and drive to the hotel. Once we are done with that railroad, we move on up. My itenerary for the next few weeks has me leaving LA (FINALY!!!) for Portland, then on to ND and finally Minneapolis.

    if you have any questions feel free to ask me, and if you are serious about applying, let me know!!!! I get a "referral" bonus so if you hire on, and put my name down, Ill buy ya the best dinner in town!! Guaranteed!

    $10......OMG. and I'm sure you will be responsible for all your meals in that DUMP of a motel they put you in. That might be the real reason for the high turnover.
     
  6. $10 an hour, starting wage. (raises at 90 days, 180, and yearly if performance is good) GUARANTEED 40 hours a week (plus overtime). $147 a week for "expenses" hotels are usually decent... La Quinta, Ramada, etc...

    4 weeks vacation... your first year, max at 6 weeks after 3 years.

    yes there are women working here.

    if you promote to Chief Operator, you will be on a fixed salary... with 8 weeks of vacation a year.

    the reason for the turnover IS the 3 months on the road bit... other than that it's not a bad gig...

    requirements? good driving record, technical background helps... we do some minor maintenance on the truck, but let the professionals to the heavy stuff....
     
    Runaway02 Thanks this.

    I'm 58 yrs old, 35 yrs experience OTR/Regional,divorced (too many times), no kids, no family & usually spent 5-6 months on the road with my own trucks (hence, the divorces).
    How strict is Sperry on MVR's; mine has a few smudges left to fall off?
    I have a nest egg saved & don't need to make a whole lot of money in the beginning. Sperry, per their brochure, seems to cover most immediate expenses, for the 1st year, anyway.
    I'll gladly use your name if this works out.
